which-browsers-do-people-use

Here’s our UK browser popularity (February 2015) infographic all shiny and updated.

It shows Chrome continues to advance, and Microsoft’s Internet Explorer continues to drift.

So the burning question in this office is, "How long till Chrome hits the two thirds market share figure?"

Okay, it's not a burning question. We're not that pointy-headed geekie.

But, our prediction is that it could be as early as August 2015.

It's not all doom and gloom for Microsoft.

Its Windows maintains its stronghold over market share for operating systems. Over 70% of people use Windows.

With Google’s mobile-friendly algorithm about to hit on April 21st, the market shares of the different mobile operating systems is particularly relevant at the moment.

More on that from us soon.
